Deployment

Podman AppJail Bastille

Compose CLI Ansible

services:
  vaultwarden:
    image: "ghcr.io/daemonless/vaultwarden:latest"
    container_name: vaultwarden
    environment:
      - PUID=1000  # User ID for the application process

      - TZ=UTC  # Timezone for the container
      - SIGNUPS_ALLOWED=true  # Enable/disable user registration (true/false)

    volumes:
      - "/path/to/containers/vaultwarden:/config"
    ports:
      - "80:80"
    # always (not unless-stopped) so FreeBSD's podman rc.d auto-starts it at boot
    restart: always

Save as compose.yaml, then run podman-compose up -d.

podman run -d --name vaultwarden \

Save as vaultwarden-deploy.yaml, then run ansible-playbook vaultwarden-deploy.yaml.

Warning

Exposing ports in AppJail means that your service can be reached from remote hosts. If that is not your intention, do not expose the ports and communicate with the service using the jail's IPv4 address or hostname assigned by the virtual network.

Experimental

Bastille's OCI support is experimental. It requires buildah and shares the host network stack (inherit). Mount volumes with --volume HOST JAIL; without it, image-declared volumes are stored under ${bastille_volumesdir}/${jail}.

Compose CLI

services:
  vaultwarden:
    name: vaultwarden
    image: "ghcr.io/daemonless/vaultwarden:latest"
    network:
      - mode: host
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=UTC
      - SIGNUPS_ALLOWED=true
      - INVITATIONS_ALLOWED=
    volumes:
      - "/path/to/containers/vaultwarden:/config"

Save as bastille-compose.yml, then run bastille up.

bastille create -O \
  --env PUID=1000 \
  --env PGID=1000 \
  --env TZ=UTC \
  --env SIGNUPS_ALLOWED=true \
